Rome Restaurants: A I\etv List
DO AS THE ROMANS DO: EAT WELL AND OFTEN
No matter what kind of Roman visitor you are: the intrepid tourer of museums and galleries from the Borghese to the Vatican, the awed admirer of Santa Maria Maggiore, San Giovanni in Laterano and other places of worship, a tracker of Michelangelo, or just one of the enchanted who wander through ancient streets
and piazzas and sit by sculptured fountains of greater beauty and variety than you have imagined possible and feel glad not to be at home—no matter, you will still have to eat. Therefore we have compiled a guide to Roman ristoranti, and trattorie, mostly inexpensive, one of which will be close to wherever you are in the city, plus hints on snacks, drinks and assorted comforts.
EATING IN ROME
First, let’s say that though a risto-rante is supposed to be expensive and a trattoria cheap, and an osteria cheaper still, this is not necessarily so. For example, the Hostaria dell’Orso is the most expensive restaurant in town; and the ritoranti and trattorie often differ not so much in the price of their food as in the added cover charge and service charge and in their stylish or plain decor.
Next, about cost. Roman restaurants of similar quality are considerably cheaper than their Parisian counterparts. Two people can dine very well - in Rome for $5, including wine, and very well indeed for a few dollars more. By ordering wisely you can get a very pleasant meal for much less; or, if you go to a Rosticcerie—sort of cook shop/
delicatessens—you can have a good quick lunch for less than a dollar.
The List
Now for the list of restaurants. First, a few of the more expensive and known ones, which we’ll just skip over, since they’re listed in all guidebooks; then the good trattorie.
Most of Rome’s best restaurants are down near the Tiber in the loop the river forms between the Ponte Cavour and the Ponte Palatino.
There you will find the Hosteria dell’Orso, which is elaborate and expensive; Passetta, deemed by gourmets the city’s best; Alfredo alia Scrofa, probably the best of the several Roman Alfredo’s. Closer to the tourist part of town are Fagiano, Roma and Ranieri, a quiet, old fashioned haunt quite near the Piazza di Spagna.
Among these, only the first three are Continued on Page 7
JETS TO ROAR NO MORE
The deafening roar of jet aircraft posed a problem for the air transport industry which is no more. The problem has been solved. Jet silencers have been developed by the noise control committee of Pratt & Whitney. There are several

DC-7C ORDER UPPED TO 33 AIRCRAFT
PAA has upped its purchase order of the Douglas DC-7C from 15 to 33 aircraft, it was recently announced.
The total PAA order for this aircraft now represents an investment of more than $74,000,000—the largest single order for equipment ever placed by PAA.
Delivery of the 5000-mile range aircraft will begin early in 1956.
“With a fleet of 33 DC-7C aircraft, PAA will continue as the leader in equipment among its competitors in international air transport,” said Willis G. Lipscomb, Vice President Traffic & Sales. “PAA’s DC-7C Clippers will be the loyigest range aircraft flying overseas. With a range of 5,000 miles, they will be able to fly non-stop between the West Coast and Tokyot non-stop New York to Paris, London, Frankfurt or Rome, and also non-stop New York to Rio.
“In addition to this tremendous range, the DC-7C Clippers will be fast —nearly 350 m.p.h. cruising—and have the operational reliability already proven by PAA’s fleet of DC-6Bs,” Mr. Lipscomb said.
The DC-7C order will not affect PAA’s ($13,000,000) order of seven DC-7Bs, the first of which is due to be delivered about the time you read this.
The principal difference between the DC-7B and DC-7C is that in the C version a wing root extension will place the engines about five feet further from the fuselage thus reducing the cabin noise level appreciably.
designs but the basic principle of all of them is a narrowing of the diameter of the engine exhaust so that the low-frequency roar becomes a high-frequency whine which is above the range of human hearing. Whether dogs will hear it or not was not disclosed.
